IRSA Integration

An IAM role for service accounts module has been created to work in conjunction with this module. The iam-role-for-service-accounts module has a set of pre-defined IAM policies for common addons. Check policy.tf for a list of the policies currently supported. One example of this integration is shown below, and more can be found in the iam-role-for-service-accounts example directory:

module "eks" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"

  cluster_name    = "example"
  cluster_version = "1.24"

  cluster_addons = {
    vpc-cni = {
      resolve_conflicts        = "OVERWRITE"
      service_account_role_arn = module.vpc_cni_irsa.iam_role_arn
    }
  }

  vpc_id     = "vpc-1234556abcdef"
  subnet_ids = ["subnet-abcde012", "subnet-bcde012a", "subnet-fghi345a"]

  eks_managed_node_group_defaults = {
    # We are using the IRSA created below for permissions
    # However, we have to provision a new cluster with the policy attached FIRST
    # before we can disable. Without this initial policy,
    # the VPC CNI fails to assign IPs and nodes cannot join the new cluster
    iam_role_attach_cni_policy = true
  }

  eks_managed_node_groups = {
    default = {}
  }

  tags = {
    Environment = "dev"
    Terraform   = "true"
  }
}
